*Bharghav Pov*“What?” They three shouted at me.“What?” I asked them back.“Repeat it again.” Sanjay asked still completely shocked.“I proposed her and she said yes. We are engaged now.” I said sipping my coffee.“This is all a joke.” Kalyan decided to himself and sighed.“What do you mean by joke? What’s wrong with it?” I asked him frowning.“Do you really want us to believe that you just proposed her and she accepted it? No way!” Sanjay said shaking his head.“I agree with them.” Khushal said shrugging.“Ok! Next week on Christmas there is engagement party. You three are welcomed if you believe that this is true.” I said getting up.“Where is the party?” Sanjay asked.“At her house!” I replied.“We need not believe this to enter their house. So we will be there.” Kalyan said.“Today your imaginary girlfriends will tell you the news.” I said walking away.“Imaginary?” Sanjay asked.“Did you guys ask them to be your girlfriend recently after the break up?” I asked him back.“Oh shut
*Sanjay Pov*“Uhmm.. Akhila Di!” I said going near her.“Yes?” She asked turning around from the stove.“Do you guys by any chance have Kritika’s old photos here?” I asked her and she looked at me frowning.“Yeah! They are in my parent’s room we left in this house. Why?” She asked stirring the curry.“Nothing! By the way food is amazing.” I said and left the kitchen when she nodded smiling at me.“Why do you want to even know about them?” Someone asked and I jumped.“Kalyan! Don’t scare me like that again.” I said patting my back.“Tell me! Why do you need to know where the photos are?” He asked again.“I will tell you a secret and don’t tell anyone else.” I replied and he nodded.“Next week it is Kritika’s birthday. So I am planning to do a slide show with her baby photos.” I said and he fumed.“Who gave you that idea?” He asked still fuming.“It is my own idea.” I replied shrugging.“No need to act but tell me is it Bharghav Uncle’s?” He asked and I looked at him in shock.“How do y
*Akhila Pov*I continued to cry holding myself when I felt a hand on my head. I looked up to see Mom looking at me with tears sitting beside me.“Mom!” I said placing my head on her lap.“Don’t cry Akhila! You should have never known about this.” She said caressing my hair.“I never wanted you guys to know.” I said sobbing more.She chuckled and said “We should be the one to that say that line.”“When did you got to know?” Dad asked staying little back from me.“Few months before we came here.” I replied vaguely.“That’s why you came here.” Mom stated and I nodded.“That’s why you made this trip for us.” Dad said and I nodded again.“You both will always be the perfect couple for me and I don’t want any problems to be there between you both just because of me.” I said opening my eyes.“Never think like that Akhila. We never fought because of you.” Dad said kneeling beside us.“Don’t lie!” I said turning away.“Ok! We fought but that was way before dear.” Mom said and I shook my head.
*Akhila Pov*“Bye!” I said waving for Mom and Dad and they waved back smiling.“Let’s go!” Di said and I nodded at her.I sat calmly near passenger seat and looked outside fully knowing that two pairs of eyes looking at me and another pair is doing the same but also taking care of the driving.“I am fine!” I said entering our house finally after nearly one week.“But…” Di started saying and I shook my head.“You guys forgot one thing.” I said smiling.“What is it?” Ri asked frowning.“That I know all this nearly two years back. But you three got to know just one week back.” I replied.“So how are you guys?” I asked smiling.“Very funny Di.” Kritika replied rolling her eyes.“You both just go and study. This is second year guys.” I said in serious tone.“You seriously got Mom’s genes.” Ri said and immediately her eyes widened.“Yes! I got them. I just stole them from her.” I said smirking and they smiled leaving the room.After they left I turned towards Di who has this serious express
Few months later…..*Akhila Pov*“Di! Where are you?” Kritika asked immediately when I lifted my phone.“I am in Mumbai!” I replied taking my luggage out.“What? But you said you will return today. We are in station for you.” She said and continued to ramble.“Idiot! She is joking.” I heard Ri’s voice.“Were you joking Di?” She asked and I saw them looking everywhere.“What do you think?” I asked standing infront of them.“Di!” They both shouted and hugged me.“I missed you both!” I said hugging them back.“Not more than us for sure.” Kritika said.“You said few months but you never said few months means six months.” Ri complained.“They just extended their training.” I said smiling.“Shall we go home? I am tired.” I added and they both nodded.Ri got a driving license so she drove us to our house in Priya Di’s car. We went inside and I flopped myself on the couch.“So how are you both coping up alone here?” I asked after drinking some water.“Priya Di just left two months back right.
*Khushal Pov*“Leave me!” I said trying to make this girl leave my hand.“You promised my Bhai that you will help me right? So keep quiet.” She threatened me.“If your Bhai had not helped me in training then I would have never accepted for this.” I said glaring at her.“Oh shut up! Let me make my plan work.” She said and I rolled my eyes.“You can atleast leave my hand.” I said taking my hand away.“Don’t be rude! You will not burn if I touch your hand so again shut up.” She said pinching my hand making me glare at her more.I walked near the entrance and saw six pairs of eyes glaring at me. I frowned at them and then saw that they are looking at the girl beside me.“What the hell are you doing Bhai?” Sanjay asked glaring.“Sanjay! You know my coach sister right?” I asked him frowning.“So what she is his sister? That doesn’t give you the right to date her.” He replied shaking his head.“Dating? No.” She said before I can open my mouth.“Now act! He is coming here.” She whispered and
*Khushal Pov*I woke up when I felt someone shaking me. I opened my eyes to see Akhila looking at me with a big frown.“Why are you frowning?” I asked her hugging her more.“We need to get up. It is past 9.” She replied and tried to remove my hand but I didn’t let her.“Khushal! Can you please let me go?” She asked smiling.“Ok!” I whispered and immediately got up.“Go!” She said looking at me.“Where?” I asked her frowning.“To your house.” She replied and started searching for a dress.“No!” I said drifting off into sleep again.“Ok! I will leave the room.” Saying that she walked inside the washroom.I sighed and got up but didn’t leave the room. I checked my mobile to see few missed calls from coach.“Hello!” I said when he lifted my call.“You didn’t practice today.” He said and I frowned.“How do you know?” I asked him frowning.“Your voice is not strained.” He replied.“I just woke up.” I said walking towards the balcony.“What? You know you have a match in a week right?” He ask
*Akhila Pov*“What are you doing here?” I asked when I opened the door.“Well you said we can talk in the evening right?” He asked walking inside the house.“I thought you will be angry and not talk to me until I talk to you.” I replied walking into the living room where everyone is already there.“Angry? And on you? You are not joking right Di?” Ri asked smirking.“Why?” I asked her confused sitting on the floor near them.“Well do you know whenever he get angry on any one of us, what we do?” Sanjay asked and I shook my head.“We just say your name.” Kalyan said and stared at him in confusion.“What used to happen when you guys say my name?” I asked him frowning.“All his anger would always be thrown outside within a second.” Jiju replied.“Really?” I asked them smiling.“Stop it!” Khushal said placing his hand around my waist and I chuckled.“Di! Will you make some sweet today?” Kalyan suddenly asked.“Is there any special today?” I asked him.“No! But I missed eating some amazing s
